Mahé — Restaurant in Seal Beach

I’ve dined at this restaurant my entire life and tonight will definitely be my last. I’m vegan, yes I know let me have it, but not everyone in my family is… tonight my son decided that he wanted to celebrate his birthday with a delicious steak, so we naturally chose this place. Many times being vegan. I will ask if the chef would like to show his talents by having the liberty to make a plate out of whatever he has in the kitchen so long as it’s vegan. And the waiter accepted for the chef and they served us a bowl of white rice with a cup of steamed carrots, broccoli and asparagus 😂 and had the nerve to charge $15 🤪 I immediately felt embarrassed for how far the place has fallen. My son ordered a cut of beef wrapped in bacon, which seemed more like it was wrapped in ham. He had such a hard time cutting it, he had to resort to using the bread knife. They must’ve got rid of the chef and only kept the cooks. They used to have amazing desserts like the banana dread and this piece of heaven that came with a chunk of pineapple and now they have chocolate cake, or lava cake really??? What’s the difference 😩-save your money. I’ll post a picture of the food so you could see what it looked like after I...

We went to Mahé for the first time on New Years Eve and it was phenomenal. First there was no wait... we ate at the bar, I dunno how long people wanting tables were waiting. Actually it was my first time ever sitting at the bar of any sushi restaurant.

The Parmesan Scallops and Albacore were the best. All of the sushi was beyond my expectations. I will definitely be going back for the all you can eat for $25 deal.

When we go again I will definitely be sitting at the bar and ordering Omakase. It will be interesting to see what they can come up with.

This is my new favourite sushi place.

Also, thinking back there did seem to be alot of cougars there. Fortunately I was with someone, so I was not...

Went for Mother's Day and was left severely disappointed. The menu is really hit or miss. The French Dip sandwich was excellent but the sushi leaves a lot to be desired. The fish was often overpowered but the other ingredients instead of complimenting the flavor. Overpriced for what you get. My recommendation is to stick to the entrees. The service was awful. The servers often huddled around the kitchen area so service was very slow. They seemed annoyed when you would ask them a question. The food also came at very very different times. The kitchen didn't do a great job of timing the dishes. Maybe they just had an off day because the other reviews are pretty positive. I however won't come back and would not recommend it. Plus side theu have a...
